Homeland

Have you guys been watching Homeland? Alex and I are obsessed. The show follows a bipolar CIA agent (Claire Danes), who suspects that a rescued prisoner of war (Damian Lewis), who has just returned to the United States, has actually become a terrorist. It is SO TENSE. You're on the edge of your seat for the whole show.

We got the first season on DVD and have been glued to it every night for the past week. It’s funny when you have the dvds and can watch all the shows in a row, because it gets in your head. Usually when we go to bed, we talk about Toby or life or whatever, but now we get in bed and we’re like, "Oh my gosh! What do you think her deal is?!!! Who do you think was on the call?!!"

I totally agree about having shows on dvd- it totally gets in your head and that's all you think about. I have LOST on dvd, and whenever I go back and rewatch it, I end up watching ALL of it and it's like I am on the island, haha.

I'll never forget Claire Dane's cry face from Romeo & Juliet...she is epic! I haven't caught any of this show, but I think I'm going to put season 1 on my Christmas list! =)thanks for the heads up on an awesome show!

WOH! My main man and I have JUST started watching this and it totally does get in your head. We also just finished re-watching Band of Brother with Damian Lewis so all I can think about is him!You have to wonder if it gets under OUR skin how it must feel to act in it??

We are also obsessed. When I heard it was a political type show I didn't even want to give it a chance. I watched the first 10 mins of the 1st episode at my bf's moms and then had to get showtime so we could watch it every week. I love how intense it always stays.

Yep, totally hooked. We started watching it On Demand and have one more episode to go. If you think Season One is great...oh, just wait until you get to Season Two. The worst part about it for us is turning it off after just one episode!

Oh me and my boyfriend are the same. Completely obsessed! It's such an amazing script and the actors...They couldn't have a better cast. Claire Danes is genius in it. And I'm actually thinking about a new drinking game. Every time Carrie cries, we need to drink.Ah ah ah! Is there enough vodka in this world?Love,Diana from http://thegirlwhocouldntbeafashionista.blogspot.ie/

My husband and I are obsessed too! I remember recommending it to a friend and saying, "and you find yourself falling for the suspected terrorist too"! Her and her husband are hooked as well. Wait till you see season 2...it gets even better!

Sooooooo obsessed! I finished the first season last night (after a three-episodes-in-a-row-er) and tossed and turned for HOURS. I was actually getting heart palpitations all week, thinking about what was going on in the show. I don't have a television at home but I definitely make time to watch Homeland, Boardwalk Empire, and The Walking Dead on my computer every week!

We just finished watching the other nights episode. We have a theory that there's a good episode, then a not so good one, then a good one again. Am I the only one who thinks Brody's daughter is annoying?

My fiance and I are OBSESSED! We just started watching season one on Sunday and whoops maybe we sat on the couch the entire day? I'm not sure what we're going to do with ourselves when we get all caught up. Maybe Downtown Abby? xx,Kate at ummmnowwhat.blogspot.com

OMG I LOVE Homeland. It's easily one of my favorites on TV. The twists and turns. Brody might be a terrorist but he's hot! I also absolutely love you threw in the cry face...it's terrible and awesome at the same time :)

LOVE LOVE this show, husband and I are completely OBSESSED! Hate that we are all caught up now, we watched the first seasons on "OnDemand" so it was nice not having to wait A WEEK for the next episode.

i'll have to put this on our list. we're now obsessed with breaking bad. my husband told me he's working late tonight and i insisted he get home early enough so we can watch at least one episode before bed. shows are sooo much better without commercials and one episode after another!

I hear nothing but good things about Homeland...can't waiitt to start watching! As soon as I'm done with Louie (which is awesome in a totally different way), I'm starting on Homeland. Has anyone gotten into Treme?

I am literally waiting for the latest episode which is on in an hour. You’re right about it being tense. Last week was a watch-through-your-fingers episode! My boyfriend was recovering from an operation a few weeks ago so we watched the whole first series in two days. We could talk of nothing else!

Homeland is amazing, I haven't yet watched season 1......but was up til 1am last night watching 3 episodes of season 2!!!!! I absolutely love box sets, once you start them, it's hard to do anything else isn't it??!!

We LOVE Homeland! Husband and I have actually gone back and are watching past episodes of Life, do you know that show? It stars Damian Lewis (who plays Brody) and only ran for two seasons but it was pure brilliance. He is such a fantastic actor.

My husband and I are obsessed with this show! We missed out on Season 1 so we went back and watched all the episodes to catch up. It totally messes with your head because now we have to wait a whole week to see another episode instead of pushing play on the dvd lol. We were like that with Dexter as well. Saw Season 1-6 in about 2 months and were just silly obsessed.

Oh man. I love this show (hard to go wrong with Mandy Patinkin, really) but it stresses me out to no end. I can't remember the last time I yelled "WHAT ARE YOU DOING???" at a character on television 30 times per episode and yet still continued to watch the show religiously.

Claire Danes does one of the best fake cries in Hollywood. Love her. I haven't seen Homeland, but goodness knows I trust your recommendation! It also relieves me to know that you still have time to watch your favorite shows once you have kids. Things you've suggested that I've tried and loved: your mashed potatoes recipe, The Glass Castle, and the double braid. Thank you!

I watch Homeland religiously, it's my favorite show (currently) on television until Mad Men comes back. Plus, it's the one show I watch with my mother (wierd. I know.) that we both really dig. Except I always leave the room when the *ahem* nudity comes on -- somethings are better left unseen with your parents.

I am totally hooked too! And I have a theory... Carrie is every neurotic woman's hero... it's like, she's a little crazy and seemingly paranoid...but her intuition is spot on so she is completely justified in her neuroses. Plus she plays a marvelous manic-don't ya think?

We are hooked on this show in a scary way! I don't think I've liked a show this much since the first season of Breaking bad. Thanks for the link to the article about Claire Danes cry face. Excellent stuff!

Love this show, my favorite. My boyfriend and I are long-distance. I told him he needs to watch so we can discuss the show, and he ended up getting hooked and watching all of season 1 and catching up on season 2 in 4 days!

Sounds good - I love Claire Danes. I know what you mean about shows getting in your head. My husband and I are watching Freaks and Geeks on netflix right now and I think about the characters ALL the time! Such a great show.

Thanks, I'll need to watch this! I need a new series to get in to while I wait for Downton Abbey to come out on DVD. I don't have tv, so watch series on DVD and agree with you that it's the best way to watch them...one episode right after another or over the course of a week.

My husband and I just watched the whole season last month. We were obsessed too, I had dreams about it! It only took us two weeks to finish. We watched the season two premiere online, but we don't have cable so we have to wait a while until we can watch season 2 unfortunately!

Our Netflix DVD - Season 1, Disk 1 - arrives tomorrow! Hubby and I can't wait to get started on this series. I've read so much about it, and he really likes the lead (can't think of his name) since he loved him in Band of Brothers. Can't wait to start!

I LOVE Homeland. It's definitely the best show on TV. It sounds silly, but I'm also getting hooked on the Walking Dead and Breaking Bad in case you are looking for a few more shows that are worth watching.

We have it here in New Zealand too - like Abbie, we can't wait for the each week's episode. It shows here on Monday nights at 8.30pm - a great start to the week. It is a brilliant show - well scripted, and well acted. Totally addictive!

We sat around last February when we found out I was pregnant and it was pouring rain everyday and wtched Downton Abbey! We were trying to enjoy our just s status :). I rewatched all the Downton Abbey with my mom when she came out to spend a month with us when the baby was born. My husband is in the army and we are in Jerusalem for three years. We are both from Los Angeles and our parents are still there.

watchseries.eu is awesome for watching shows if you haven't heard of it.

Love it - I didn't watch the first season when it was on, but downloaded the whole season and watched on my iPad before the second season started. I'm usually an episode behind, since I record it on Sunday and watch during the week when I'm in the mood. It's great - love Claire Danes - I have since "My So-Called Life", which I watched as an adult.

I've watched Homeland week after week since the broadcast of the pilot, and I end up screaming at the screen almost every single episode. My roommate and I are absolutely obsessed, and probably we're going to need some medical assistance for the season finale.

Homeland is THE BEST! Gah, I'm obsessed! I threw caution to the wind about a month ago and subscribed to SHOtime, so now my roommate & I can snuggle on the couch every Sunday with a giant tub of popcorn and indulge in 52ish minutes of pure, unadulterated addictive television! Three episodes left in season 2 and I am GOING CRAZY.

So glad you're addicted, J! You're gonna diiiiiiie once you and Alex watch season two!

i've been on the fence about starting this show, in the exact same way i am with Breaking Bad. they both seem super intense, and though i'm completely addicted to all things action meets crime, i'm worried it might be too much. the article you linked to about Ms. Danes totally convinced me that i should give this a whirl. the character development sounds spot on, and i do love her so. xx, e

I haven't started it yet but I'm about to download them all. The show won so many awards this year and I've heard nothing but good things. At first, I thought it was going to be another 24 show and I wasn't interested. But it looks really good :)

I also get into shows like that. My boyfriend and I are OBSESSED with Sons of Anarchy. It's so intense. My mom just got into it and my sister is too. Jake (my boyfriend) and I talk about the characters like they're friends. Funny how TV affects your life :)

Homeland DVD which based on the Israeli series Hatufim now finish its all two seasons with amazing plot and series . Homeland Series DVD has received critical acclaim, as well as several industry awards, including winning the 2012 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series.Homeland season 2, consisting of 12 episodes is so amazing.
